Type 1: Miracle on 34th Street
Reformers tend to see things in very black-and-white, yes-or-no, right-or-wrong ways, which is why they’ll definitely relate to watching the characters in this movie struggle with believing that Mr. Kringle really is Santa Claus! This classic is the ultimate Christmas movie to get you in the holiday spirit, and by the end, you’ll be convinced that Santa is definitely real.
Type 2: Santa Claus Is Coming To Town
Helpers are warm-hearted and generous, just like Kris Kringle who decides to bring toys to the kids in Sombertown after the mayor has them outlawed. No matter what obstacles get in his way, Kris can’t help but try harder and harder to make the kids happy and bring them the toys they want and deserve. This movie will warm anyone’s heart, and it’ll make every Type 2 smile!
Type 3: The Family Man
Every Type 3 is known for their desire for success, always pushing to be number one! The Family Man is the perfect reminder for Achievers that sometimes success isn’t just found in the workplace – you’ll find it right at home when you’re surrounded by family and friends that you love! This movie will tug at your Type 3 heart strings and will remind you to re-focus your mind around the holiday season on the things that matter most to you.
Type 4: Christmas Vacation
Creative Individualists can’t help but admire Clark Griswald’s ingenuity in the magical Christmas display he creates at his home. If your favorite part of the holidays is driving through town seeing the Christmas lights at everyone’s houses, this is that entire feeling wrapped up in a holiday movie you’re going to love!
Type 5: How The Grinch Stole Christmas
As a Type 5, you’re independent and focused on your personal thoughts, ideas, and goals. How The Grinch Stole Christmas is the perfect holiday movie for Investigators – it will remind you to see things from others’ perspectives (plus, how cute is Max?!).
Type 6: The Polar Express
While Loyalists tend to stick to their own beliefs and values, they can always appreciate when someone has convinced them to try or learn something new. If you’re a Type 6, you’ll definitely relate to the story of the little boy who learns that seeing is believing (and sometimes, believing is seeing!) when he takes a trip to the North Pole on Christmas Eve.
Type 7: White Christmas
Every Enthusiast is up for a good time, and White Christmas is literally a party in a movie! Every fun song and jazzy dance will put a smile on your face and give you the perfect fun holiday movie experience to brighten up your evening. Not to mention, the costumes are just TOO good!
Type 8: Home Alone
The Challenger spirit in every Type 8 will root for Kevin in this movie from beginning to end. He never backs down, which your confident nature will appreciate, and you’ve got to give him a round of applause for the creativity he uses when he comes up with a plan to protect his home from being burglarized on Christmas Eve.
Type 9: Four Christmases
Only a Peacemaker would be able to figure out how to successfully manage going to 4 different Christmas celebrations – but you’ll love watching Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn desperately try their best in this funny Christmas flick!
